queenwinniesmom Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Susan, I'm so sorry you lost your precious Alan, especially so suddenly. That adds an extra layer to your grief, which would be devastating enough. But with the suddenness, there is also shock and anger as well as the deep sadness, and gaping hole in your heart and home. Your love for Alan shines through in every word of your beautiful tribute. And reading over the 4 pages of this thread, it's clear that that love was shared, even by those of us who had never met him in canine. Certainly, he was one of the most stunningly beautiful Greys I've ever seen (having a soft spot for gorgeous fawns with melting brown eyes). And since he was just as beautiful inside as he was outside, it's easy to see why he was so special, and why you loved him so much. Sharing your sadness, keeping you in my prayers, and sending lots of white light for strength during this very difficult time.

Guest greytmonty Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Susan, I am so so sorry for your loss. I have not been on GT much in a long time and just feel so shocked. Alan was such a special boy, and you gave him such a loving and wonderful home. You have been a great friend to so many folks here on GT going through their own grief. I am sending you lots of hugs.

duncan41 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Beautiful tribute. Beautiful Alan. Your dedication to Alan oozed off the screen and he loved you for it. You were the best Mom. I hope that those memories that he created with family and friends will help heal the edges of that hole in your heart. Think of him, love him, talk about him and your memories of him will curl up and fill in that hole in your heart. Send your Mom a sign, Alan. She loved you best. I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Too soon. Too young. I hate cancer.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyGirlInOz Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I'm so sad to see Alan's name here He was such an inspiration, and I have always been so impressed with how much you did for him through his illnesses.
